"Many highly intelligent, well-qualified, capable men and women are not taken seriously because 'they don't sell for what they're worth,'" Price says. "A lack of professional appearance holds them back. It's frustrating because clothing certainly does not determine one's actual competence and credibility; it does, however, influence others' perception of those qualities — and that reality impacts career opportunities."
I am a firm believer of professional work attire
, and dressing the part, especially for those in management (or, aspiring to be
in management), senior and executive, because first impressions do last.
But ... as a closet fashion lover , I do believe
that even if you are confined to formal Monday to Friday - Who said
formal has to be boring ?
You can be on trend and still pull off looking
formal at the same time.
When it comes to my personal choice of
work wear , I like to keep the 'less is more' principle by not over
accessorizing and going overly colourful, yet still being able to enjoy my
everyday work clothes and feel comfortably confident when I walk into a
boardroom full of suites.
Given the fact that I am a lover of all things
BLACK and then GREY and WHITE, it makes it even easier when shopping for a work
closet.
Today's work ootd is a jumpsuit which I came
across in one of my favourite places (the formal clothing isles of Zara)
All I can say is that I am legit obsessed
with this Zara formal jumpsuit !
The colour meets the exact 'requirements' of
formal wear, its simple , comfortable and pulls of a look of a 'vested' suited
look, but is actually a chic jumpsuit.
One of my favourite work closet staples
Work clothes do not have to be boring and
conventional , they can meet the requirements of formal with a dash of
difference
